Finished the plane and did the Jasta-18 paint scheme and tested it several times with the Palm-Z guts but it wouldn't fly good even though it flew slow. I looked closely and I found the problems:
1. The horizontal stab is too floppy for stability.
2. The AOA of the wings is too much so the plane would constantly stall no matter where the CG was. Changing the elevator position didn't help.

So what can I do to resolve the problems?
Make the horizontal stab in 1 piece so I don't need to shave it thin to save weight. Also I need to give the wings less AOA and move the CG a bit back.

The fuselage and the vertical stab got so "broken" that I removed the wings and I crushed the fuse. Now working on making a new fuse and the stabs.

I"ll tell you why we don't like your threads. Because we all thought of doing the same kind of build and you had to go and post it first and steal our thunder. That's why! Then you had to make it look really good, and show us all up! Starscream your build is excellent . I look at your model and say wow.... there is a lot of possibilities there. Now Gordon has someone nipping at his heels. Great Job, keep it up.

I have been looking at the skeletonized framework and can't tell if it's cut with a knife or laser. The fuse appears to be hand cut, but the tail parts appear to be laser cut. Which is it? Also, what type and thickness of foam are you using?
